2016 is barely a week old and for many people the return to the day job is yet to feel normal, neither of which fashion cares about, obvs.

Instead London – followed by Florence, Paris and the rest – is readying itself for four days of sartorial best in show, unofficially kicking off tomorrow morning with the second ever presentation from London College of Fashion’s menswear division.

“I’ve been really impressed with how different and widespread the groups references and designs have been,” Sølvsten Thomsen – a mentor to students in the run up to show time (and on the day stylist) – tells Clash. “For example, Bethany Williams, whose collection is socially responsible and uses mainly recycled materials, Pakholee who is reinventing classic wardrobe pieces like the denim jacket, biker and mac.”

“Peng Chen has also put a lot of careful thought into shape and the importance that accessories can bring to a collection,” he continues. “Overall, the quality of the finishings and attention to detail for designers this early on in their career is very distinguished. I’m looking forward to seeing what they go on to do.”
